NF01 November/December 2023
Issue one of nearfield celebrates new beginnings across the region. We get excited about the reopening of Bristol Beacon, meet the hardy dippers revelling in the cold waters of the restored Cleveland Pools, find out what the Bristol Old Vic's new artistic director has planned; and explore the vintage shops, upcycling workshops, and reclamation yards breathing fresh life into old. We also keep readers moving through winter with a guide to indoor and outdoor activities, and meet the Icebreakers in our first community takeover. Plus we round up all the best events, experiences, and food and drink in the southwest this winter.

The Cure headline Moles<br />
before conquering the world<br />
A few months after this photo of The Cure<br />
playing Moles was taken on 28 July 1983 – not<br />
a Friday, fact fans – things would go bananas<br />
for Crawley’s big-haired banshee-pop heroes.<br />
Absent from the setlist that night, as the band<br />
warmed up to play Cornwall’s Elephant Fayre<br />
alongside the likes of Roy Harper, Benjamin<br />
Zephaniah and Ivor Cutler, was a song they would<br />
release just three months later, and which they<br />
would never escape from again: The Lovecats.<br />
45 YEARS OF MOLES<br />
To mark its 45th anniversary, Moles recently<br />
received a grant from Arts Council England and<br />
the National Lottery to programme 45 artists over<br />
15 live events, with tickets set at £4.50 per show.<br />
Neat theme, right? You can still catch the following:<br />
